You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is.- Osho
-
I am a natural person. I have no charisma, and I don’t believe in charisma. I don’t believe in methods - even if I use them, I don’t believe in them. I am a natural person, very ordinary. I can be lost in a crowd and you will not be able to find me. I don’t lead you, I accompany you.- Osho

-
I want to emphasize the point that if a man can have ninety years of physical age and thirteen years of mental age, the vice versa is also possible, and should be made possible. A thirteen-years-old boy can have the mind and mental age of a ninety years old man. And that will be the day of rejoicing, when your mental age is ahead of your physical age. That is the beginning of a superman, the beginning of the new man, a new humanity.- Osho

Life is a beautiful journey if it is a process of constant learning, exploration. Then it is excitement every moment.- Osho

A real religious man is one who has no past, who has no autobiography, who is continuously new, each moment slipping with GOD. He does not bother – what has happened, has happened – finished! Put a full stop it, and never look back. Go on...he is always calling you ahead, and ahead. He is always persuading you to move into new territories of being: from lust to love, from love to prayer - and there are higher realms than prayer. And he is constantly on the move. If you follow him, the only way is to be constantly on the move. Be a river.- Osho
-
Meditation is the only magic in the world and the only miracle.- Osho

-
Take life as easily as possible. But people don't understand me. I say to them, Life is a mystery. It is not to be solved but to be lived. And somebody has asked me, Osho, when you said that, I heard, Life is a MISERY, not to be solved but to be lived. That is up to you. To me it is a mystery, not to be solved but to be lived, but you can hear it as misery.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho

-
If you can really see a beautiful rose of a beautiful sunset with your totality there is no need of any other discipline to become a Buddha.- Osho
-
That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your mind; don't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.- Osho
-
A man who lives life in its totality is a rainbow; he lives the whole spectrum of it.- Osho

-
Even if they can find a lover they demand perfection, and the love is destroyed because of that demand.- Osho

The ego is the cancer of the inner, the cancer of the soul. And the only remedy - the only remedy I say - is meditation.- Osho

-
Love happens when you are ready to share with another human being. Prayer happens when you are ready to share with God.- Osho

When you awaken in your deepest core of being, in the very center of your existence, then there is only silence, immense joy and celebration.- Osho
-
Watch the waves in the ocean. The higher the wave goes, the deeper is the wake that follows it. One moment you are the wave, another moment you are the hollow wake that follows. Enjoy both--dont get addicted to one. Dont say: I would always like to be on the peak. It is not possible. Simply see the fact: it is not possible. It has never happened and it will never happen. It is simply impossible--not in the nature of things. Then what to do? Enjoy the peak while it lasts and then enjoy the valley when it comes. What is wrong with the valley? What is wrong with being low? It is a relaxation. A peak is an excitement, and nobody can exist continuously in an excitement.- Osho

Once you let go nothing dies, only the ego. You remain forever and ever.- Osho
-
Be aware – deep down you are really attached to your negative emotions. They are your ego.- Osho

Oneness is the key.- Osho
-
My whole teaching is this, accept yourself, love yourself, and celebrate yourself.- Osho

The being is not a static thing waiting to be discovered by you. The being has to be created moment to moment. That is the only way to discover it.- Osho
-
I am not going to give you a destination. I can only give you a direction - awake, throbbing with life, unknown, always surprising, unpredictable. I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own. Move into the vast, into the infinite, and by and by, learn to trust it. Leave yourself in the hands of life.- Osho

-
Watch, witness. Your body is not you; your mind is not you. You are just a pure witness.- Osho
-
When you are Yourself, There is Truth, there is Beauty, There is Grace, there is Ecstasy.- Osho
-
So when I say, Spread the word, I mean whatever I have been telling you, go on spreading in as many ways as possible. Use all the news media, use everything that technology has provided, so that the word reaches to every nook and corner of the earth. And remember, it is far more powerful than any nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons can only bring death -- that is not power. But the word which has come from an enlightened consciousness can bring new life to you; it can give you rebirth, resurrection -- that is power.- Osho
-
A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.- Osho
-
The more empty you become, the more you will be able to receive my vibrations, my heartbeat, my song, the more you will be able to dance in tune with me—and that is the only right way to spread the message. Because the message is not of language; the message is of being, of experience.- Osho

-
This I call true religion – playfulness, lovingness, cheerfulness.- Osho
-
My whole effort is to make your morality spontaneous. You should be conscious and alert, and respond to every situation with absolute consciousness. Then whatever you do is right.

-
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart. And it will be a song of awareness; it will be a song of meditation- Osho
-
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.- Osho
-
A truth cannot be read in a scripture, a truth has to be lived only in the innermost temple of your being.- Osho
-
The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.- Osho
-
A really mature person cannot be serious, there is nothing to be serious about. The whole of life is fun, it is a play, a play of consciousness. And that's what meditation reveals to you - that the whole of life is a beautiful play of energy. The same energy is in the trees, in the stars, in the rivers, in the mountains, in you, in animals. It is the same energy dancing in different forms. We in the East have called it 'leela'. Leela means god's play.- Osho

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.- Osho

To me, this is religion - enjoying the air, enjoying the sea, enjoying the sand, enjoying the sun—because there is no other god than existence itself. Zorba the Buddha, on the one hand, is the end of the old man—his religions, his politics, his nations, his racial discriminations, and all kinds of stupidities. On the other hand, zorba the Buddha is the beginning of a new man—a man totally free to be himself, allowing his nature to blossom. There is no conflict Zorba and Buddha.
